Maria Allyn Midlife Fulfillment Coach: Your Mojo’s Waiting

Mojonoun mo·jo \’mo-(,)jo\A power that may seem magical and that allows someone to be very effective, successful, etc. A magic spell, hex, or charm; broadly: magical power.

~Merriam-Webster’s Learner’s Dictionary

Have you ever looked in the mirror and murmured, “Honey, you got this”? Having that unmistakable feeling of being able to own any room you walked into?

Knowing you have an aura of confidence would immediately make you feel at home in any setting. That’s yourmojo at work. Your unique, signature energy that leaves its mark everywhere you go. That may be a distant memory for many, but trust me , your body remembers vividly. It’s been on high alert just waiting to follow your command to bring it forth.

So often our magical blueprint gets swallowed up by the demands of life. Even though we carry our mojo with us always, she is a demanding diva who needs to be acknowledged and celebrated. Without that continued self care, she naps. I mean what’s the fun of spreading your magic if its not valued and encouraged?

As children we honor our mojo. We expect faces to light up when we enter a room and for others to be completely captivated by our tales. We instinctively know that we are magical, gifted beings that sprinkle glitter wherever we go.

As we get older, we become jaded by harsh realities and that inner diva gets silenced. Will we be perceived as arrogant and alienate people? Is this magic meant just for childhood and is living a charmed life not for adults?

I’m here to convince you that your magic never dies. It’s an energy that walks hand in hand with us. Its a power, when harnessed , that allows us to get in tune with our passions and live authentically.

Remember that confidence, eagerness and absolute knowing that enveloped our earlier days? If your feeling depressed and unmotivated, chances are that you need to wake up Ms. M. She’s in there snoozing under layers of cozy down comforters.

Here are some tips to do just that:

1) Clear your head– Its hard to connect with your mojo when your mind is being pulled in a million directions. Ms. M is used to being center stage and will not compete to be heard. Take a sabbatical from social media, limit your TV and let your texting fingers rest. It’s during these quiet times that our mojo connects.

2) Do something childish– Indulge yourself in an activity that has no purpose but fun. Connect to that part of you that fully enjoys the moment.; color, collect pretty objects, sing at the top of your lungs, finger paint or bang on a piano. Feel the pleasure of just doing with no agenda. Your mojo thrives on that.

3) Kick the “Old Farts” to the curb– This is a way of being and not a chronological issue . If you surround yourself with naysayers and “glass half empty” folks you may never give yourself permission to live a magical life. The feedback back from your buddies may be too daunting. Find people who light you up and put pep in your step. You can hang out with the “stick in the muds” in the graveyard.

You may want to stay on track doing regular mojo maintenance by using these tips . Also, I give moxie and mojo strengthening tips on my weekly, Wednesday , Facebook live feed. Your mojo is like a muscle and gets strengthened every time you embrace it. It will eventually become your way of life. A midlife filled with giggles, gusto and adventure.

“Being a playwright of any race is difficult, and Lord knows it gets more difficult the further you get from the middle of the road. I don’t know what kind of magic my mojo is working, but it’s working. “

~Suzan-Lori Parks

P.S. Your mojo’s calling you! Don’t make her wait.

I been in a relationship for 6yr now, anytime I ask him where de relationship is heading to he will say he luv me, de only time he call me is at night, he don’t care hw am fearing Wht shld I do am confuse

Hi Chiamaka, Sorry to say this but after six years, you can pretty much expect your relationship to continue as is. He’s not going to take it any further. There’s nothing you can do to make a man love you or marry you or live with you. He has to WANT to do these things. And right now your man is happy with the way things are. He’s not interested in making you happy, only himself. So if you want more from a relationship, you’ll probably have to find a new one.
